Service FAQs

All appointments are booked online through Vagaro. Sunshine Bodywork is a solo-practitioner business, so calls and messages may not be answered immediately while a session is in progress. Online booking lets you view availability, services, prices, and appointment times. For questions before booking, please send a text message to (401) 394-9139.

Create or sign in to a Vagaro account using your email address and phone number, then visit the Sunshine Bodywork profile. Choose your service, session length, and an available appointment time, and follow the prompts to complete your booking. Appointments are generally available between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, depending on the daily schedule. A card on file is required for all new and returning clients; no payment is charged at booking.

Full-body wellness sessions generally range from 60 to 180 minutes, depending on the service selected. A 60-minute session may be a good choice for general relaxation and wellness. For several priority areas or a more detailed full-body experience, consider 90 minutes or longer. Visit Services & Prices for the durations offered for each service.

You do not need to understand every technique before booking. Start with your main goal: relaxation, stretching and mobility, focused bodywork, recovery support, or a combination of these. Read Choosing Your Bodywork Service in our Guides for an introduction to each treatment.

No. Every session is personalized according to the service selected, your goals and priority areas, and your comfort, flexibility, mobility, and individual response. The approach may be adjusted throughout the session according to what feels most comfortable and appropriate for you.

Yes, and you are encouraged to do so. During online booking, look for the “About Your Appointment” section near the final step. Share your priority areas, main goal, flexibility or mobility concerns, and any other information that may help personalize your experience. Advance information helps us prepare, and you can communicate your preferences at any time during the session.

If you have several areas you would like to focus on, 90 minutes or longer is generally recommended. Additional time allows greater attention to your priority areas while providing a balanced full-body experience without rushing.

A 180-minute session offers a more complete, detailed head-to-toe wellness experience. Depending on the service selected, it may combine assisted stretching, mobility, focused bodywork, relaxation, and additional attention to priority areas. The main advantage is time and balance: more time for your priorities while maintaining a continuous, comfortable full-body experience.

For in-person services, we accept Cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App only. Please have one of these payment methods ready at your appointment. Current prices are available on our online booking page.

After two consecutive late cancellations or no-shows without attending in between, future bookings will no longer be accepted. Please see Booking & Policies for the full terms.

Reiki is a gentle energy-based relaxation practice focused on a sense of balance in the body, mind, and emotions. In the Reiki tradition, the practitioner is described as channeling universal life energy through their hands. The session offers a quiet space for deep relaxation, reflection, and inner calm.

During the session, the practitioner gently places their hands lightly on or just above different areas of your body. The approach is calm and unhurried, with attention to your comfort throughout.

Within the Reiki tradition, this process may be described as sensing the energy field and working with areas of perceived imbalance. This is a spiritual wellness practice, not a medical scan or diagnosis.

You may notice warmth or tingling, deep calm and relaxation, a sense of emotional release or peacefulness, or a feeling of grounding and clarity. Some people notice very little sensation. Experiences vary, and no particular feeling or outcome is required.

Reiki sessions are intended to provide time to rest, unwind, and support a sense of inner balance and overall well-being. Some clients describe feeling calmer, more grounded, or more relaxed afterward.

Reiki does not replace medical or psychological care, and specific health benefits or results are not guaranteed.
